What Makes This Song Great? "Stuck on You" FAILURE
Рет қаралды 148,628
5 жыл бұрынIn this episode we explore the music of the band FAILURE. Failure is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles that was active from 1990 to 1997 and from 2014 onwards. They are often compared to other alternative rock bands from that time that were similarly labeled as "alternative", such as Nirvana and Soundgarden, but are distinguished by their meticulous attention to textural sonic detail, inventive use of guitar effects and signal processing, and the overall expansive sound design of their later albums. Failure reunited in 2014.

the mackie/ADAT combo they used was extremely common in the 90’s. I’m pretty sure Jagged Little Pill was tracked with ADATs. Nobody making heavy music did anything that sounded half as good as Fantastic Planet with a project setup that cheap. But it’s the songwriting that really distinguished that album. Easily the most under rated rock album of the 90’s. I’ll fight anyone that disagrees.

They talked to Failure's tour manager, and next thing you know a door opens up next to the wheelchair-access seating area where we were, and I'm pushing my wife through the green room so she can use their facilities! It was right as the bands were changing over, so we didn't actually meet the band, but that's when we first met Ken's sister.

I know I'm late to the game, I just discovered you channel a few weeks ago, and I have been binging. Thank you Rick. I am a touring sound engineer, and have toured with dozens of pop and rock acts from about 2000 on. Everything you say I nod my head in agreement. This is one of my favorite records of all time. Every rock/metal/industrial band in the Chicago scene in the 2000s still listened to this record on heavy rotation. I have had the pleasure of meeting Ken once, but have seen him play multiple times. I could not tell you the year or the band, but he did a tour back in the naughts solo. His backing band were some kids who also opened the show (I think he produced their record). They knew the failure tunes note for note, like they wrote them with Ken. It literally brought my friends and I to tears. Cold hearted, gigging, touring, pessimistic musicians and pro techs, crying during the Nurse who loved me. The reason I called... I toured with a self-produced band out of Milwaukee back in the day called Bender. The record was Jehovah's Hitlist. They recorded the entire record themselves in a warehouse, on Black-faced ADAT's, through a Mackie 32x8, just like ken did. I am biased, but I still think the record sounds amazing. I used to have a copy of the original mixes, before TVT got their grubby lilt hands on it and remixed it, it was even better. I highly recommend you check the record out.

Failure is a relatively recent discovery for me, and I wish I had this in my life in the 90s. I listened to 'Forbidden Planet' so much I think I was trying to Butterfly Effect them into my psyche. Great stuff. Thanks, Rick!

Thanks, Rick. You mentioned Failure in a video a few weeks back and got me to start listening to them. I only wish I would've known about them sooner. They played a show in my state a few months ago.

such a great band, cant believe that not only you know that band but that you are supporting them with this vid. total respect

Really makes a lot of sense APC covering The Nurse... and later hiring the guy into the band. This is totally a sonic blueprint for their entire sound.

You do know that now you have to do Hum “stars” now. You opened the floodgates.

If you like this song, definitely listen to Failure's first two albums. I listened to them for the first time back in 2009 and they blew my mind. The albums have been favourites of mine ever since then.

Failure and HUM are underrated. Everytime I back listen old faves, Rick always shows up next on the recommend list for his analysis lol

Everytime I hear this song I’m transported to my happy place! Failure is a great band, takes me back to 1995-96!

Hell yeeeeeeeah, i've been asking for a WMTSG on Failure since quite awhile. Thanks for covering them, Rick. They're probably one of the most underated bands from the 90's

Favorite band of all time. Definitely deserve more recognition. If you ever revisit Failure, please do Small Crimes just for the bass tone alone.
@laundry08 5 жыл бұрын
Epic bass tone for sure. The kick drum on Magnified (and the Replicants album) is similarly epic.

I actually saw Failure in Lollapalooza '97. I liked them enough to by their album. They were one of the few bands who played that year that impressed me. This was probably the song that did it.

WOOOOOWW at last!!!! One of my favorite bands that no one seem to know! I got to buy their Fantastic Planet Live in 2017 :) and it's the best live record I have ever heard!!!
